More quotes by Orson Welles
I have an unfortunate personality.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.
Orson Welles
I prefer people who rock the boat to people who jump out
Orson Welles
In attempting to explain F For Fake's state-side failure, it has occurred to me that perhaps the subject matter was at least partially to blame, and that this country is so blissfully enslaved by the notion of the special sanctity of the expert that an overtly anti-expert film was bound to go too much against the national grain.
Orson Welles
I was spoiled in a very strange way as a child, because everybody told me, from the moment I was able to hear, that I was absolutely marvelous, and I never heard a discouraging word for years, you see. I didn't know what was ahead of me.
Orson Welles
I love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.
Orson Welles
I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
Orson Welles
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
Orson Welles
I started at the top and worked my way down.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
Friendship creates only the illusion of not being alone.
Orson Welles
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
Orson Welles
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.
Orson Welles
Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant.
Orson Welles
I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.
Orson Welles
Every actor in his heart believes everything bad that's printed about him.
Orson Welles
The first thing one must remember about film is that it is a young medium. And it is essential for every responsible artist to cultivate the ground that has been left fallow.
Orson Welles
The director is the most overrated artist in the world. He is the only artist who, with no talent whatsoever, can be a success for 50 years without his lack of talent ever being discovered.
Orson Welles
